Foreign Relations Secretary José Antonio Meade Kuribreña wrapped up an official visit to New Zealand last week after meeting with authorities, politicians and business leaders in a bid to strengthen ties between the two nations.
Meade Kuribreña met with his counter part from New Zealand, Minister of Foreign Relations Murray McCully to discuss advances in agreements made between the two governments during a visit by Prime Minister John Key in meetings with President Enrique Peña Nieto.
Both secretaries echoed wishes to promote growth and initiatives for the private sector in their nations, particularly in the areas of agriculture industry and processed foods.
Furthermore, the two nations want to share practices of cooperation in areas such as science, technology, agriculture and education to implement policy that reflects experience.
The two leaders also discussed the presence of New Zealand as an observer of the Pacific Alliance between Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile, which includes diverse projects that are a mechanism of regional integration to increase mobility, free trade and cooperation.
Meade also congratulated his counterpart for his election as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for 2015 and 2016. Mexico has a vested interest in continued communication to put into place reforms required by the multilateral organism, said the Foreign Relations Secretariat in a statement.
The secretary also met with various business leaders from New Zealand. He stressed the importance of structural reforms enacted by the president and invited them to visit Mexico and see that it is a land of opportunity, said the statement.
The visit by the Mexican official was planned in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of relations between Mexico and New Zealand.
New Zealand is Mexico’s 57th largest trading partner and 14th among Asia Pacific nations. In 2013 trade with New Zealand grew 10.3 percent.
